Hey there. I would consider myself an electronic musician, and have been using GarageBand lately as my music software. However, GarageBand really limits me in these ways:
1) I do not have enough software instruments or samples to work with. GarageBand barely provides anything in that area. 2) GarageBand's mixing tools are also extremely limited. Can anyone recommend a good piece of software, that will resolve the above two issues? I just want to be able to have my MIDI keyboard plugged into my Mac, and be able to write electronic music with a good library of software instruments and samples, and also a satisfactory set of mixing tools. I also am not willing to spend more than maybe 7 or 8 hundred dollars. In an extreme case I might spend 1k, but I am hoping that this is not necessary. Nothing with a HUGE learning curve either. I am willing to spend some time getting familiar with the software, but nothing extreme. I was looking into Propellerhead Software's Reason, but I'm still not sure exactly what it is. Is it what I am looking for? Any help greatly appreciated. This post has been edited by dgm: Thu 19 Jul 2007, 00:32 |

Also be aware that the Garage Band Instruments are programable you can create your own soundbanks.
S4 has GB expansion packs that add new instruments http://www.samples4.com/catalog/product_in...990a3338b6a15ac http://www.samples4.com/catalog/product_in...products_id/596 -------------------- G-Dub
